These poor villagers washed up on shore after surviving a horrific volcanic eruption. You have to guide them in learning how to survive in this real-time simulation game. They learn by doing, but you might have to keep an eye on them to make sure they don't give up too easily. They need to become farmers, builders, scientists, parents and more in order to thrive on this new island. How will you lead your tribe?

One of my first experiences with a sim game where the game continues even when you're away. Very satisfying to build your villagers skills and see them through several generations while completing goals and unlocking mysteries!
I recommend this game!

I personally enjoyed this game, this game (The First of its series) is the game that introduced me into Virtual Villagers. I loved the look of it, and I would recommend this game. The puzzles are extremely challenging, and this game runs itself! If you have loads of free time, then this is the PERFECT game for you.
I recommend this game!

Virtual Villagers is a WONDERFUL game. I was not sure I wanted to play a "tribal" game but it's truly exciting!

Virtual Villagers is a WONDERFUL game. I was not sure I wanted to play a "tribal" game but it's truly exciting! The instructions are explained well in a short tutorial and then the player is left on his/her own to solve the mysteries from some visual or textual clues. I enjoyed taking my time figuring out how to enable the islanders to survive and thrive [after fleeing their previous volcanic island]. I like this first game of the VV series so much that I went to Big Fish and bought the ensuing four sequels ... because I think I will love to play them too. KUDOS to LDW for creating their charming and fun games!
PS. Once the islanders got busy, I liked turning off the music and just listening to sounds of the ocean & splashes, the building taking place, children giggling, lovers kissing, babies cooing, apprentices sighing "no", etc. Show less

This game is super cute and fun, and a good time waster! It only needs to be checked occasionally once you get the food part going, so it's a decent one to mess around with at work or at home while working on something else. This game will not work for you if you're looking for a game to sit and play for an extended amount of time. That said, the puzzles are fun to figure out, and the story is ...Show more
This game is super cute and fun, and a good time waster! It only needs to be checked occasionally once you get the food part going, so it's a decent one to mess around with at work or at home while working on something else. This game will not work for you if you're looking for a game to sit and play for an extended amount of time. That said, the puzzles are fun to figure out, and the story is cute. ONE thing I have about the game is having babies. It's kind of creepy. You drag villagers on top of each other to try to entice them into 'breeding'. They will often say no and RUN AWAY, but, you have to persist and keep dragging them back on top of each other, or, find new partners that may mesh better and need less 'encouragement' to breed with each other. It's unsettling, dragging running people back for more breeding, but if you don't keep it up, you won't have a sustainable population. Once you get farther in the game though and increase your fertility, it's not as much of a problem, it takes less tries to make a baby and you have more villagers to choose from, to try to find two who are compatible.
